W ith the end of the spring semester in early May and commencement (May 14), the campus has become virtu-

ally deserted. Aside from those few who will be teaching in the summer sessions, the faculty have been scattering, leaving on research trips or vaca-tions. Generally speaking, the department had a productive year. Five of our colleagues (King, Koditschek, Smale, Smith, and Worthington) have published books, which are noted elsewhere in this newsletter. Both the faculty and our gradu-ate teaching assistants continue to excel in the classroom, with Lois Huneycutt receiving the campuswide Excellence in Education Award from the Division of Student Affairs, and Steven Smith, a similar campuswide award, the Donald K. Ander-son Graduate Teaching Assistant Award, from the Graduate School. And, even though the University of Missouri is officially still under a hiring freeze, our dean was able to persuade the provost to name a few exceptions for strategically important faculty positions, among them our African history

position. The department did a search in late fall and early spring that did not result in a hire but that the dean has reauthorized for the upcoming academic year. The search committee has been preparing for the new search and will accelerate the process in late August.

In keeping with the department’s long-standing tradition and well-earned reputation for campus activism, the spring semester provided an oppor-tunity to weigh in on the controversial issue of e-learning. Thus, soon after the appointment by the provost of a campuswide committee to examine e-courses and the possible consolidation of the units responsible for delivering these courses, the department adopted a strongly worded resolution opposing this administration-driven initiative. The history resolution was forwarded to all A&S de-partments, a number of which ultimately drafted similar resolutions of their own. These were then forwarded to key university administrators. The issue of e-learning has thus been put on hold to be revisited, but with far greater faculty input and participation in the future.

Arts and Science Week was once again celebrat-ed in February. This gave the department an op-portunity to welcome back to campus one of our graduates, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Ryan Yantis, BA ’83, who was honored by the college as one of three recipi-ents of the A&S Distinguished Alumni Award. After a stellar career in the military, Yantis served as executive director of the Pritzker Military Library (Chicago) and then as the executive director of the Korean War National Museum (Springfield, Ill.).

Our undergraduate and graduate programs continue to flourish. This year, more than 90 un-dergraduate students received their bachelors’ degrees in history. A number of these students undertook independent research projects and

2 Universi ty of Missouri Department of History

produced impressive honors theses, supervised by individual faculty members (see Page 3 for a list of these students and their thesis titles).

Our undergraduate internship program has grown as well and has expanded in scope to include some new opportunities such as the Mis-souri Museum of Military History in Jefferson City.

Our master’s and doctoral students have shown a great deal of initiative by actively engaging in professional activities that can only enhance their future career prospects. Some have published ar-ticles, book reviews, or encyclopedia entries; some have had articles accepted for publication; some have presented papers at professional meetings; with at least two of these being recognized for excellence and awarded prizes. A more-complete description of these graduate and undergraduate student accomplishments as well as updates on our internships appears elsewhere in this news-letter.

A defining event of the spring semester was the late January–early February blizzard that immobi-lized the city of Columbia and the university cam-pus for several days. Aptly described by Mizzou: The Magazine of the Mizzou Alumni Association as “a blizzard of historic proportions,” the snow that accumulated rapidly and in great quantities (14.5 inches at Sanborn Field; 17.5 inches at Columbia Regional Airport), resulted in the cancellation of classes from 4:00 p.m. on Jan. 31, through the end of the day Feb. 3. The three consecutive days of cancelled classes were a first for MU, necessitating an extension of the spring semester by two days and a revision of the final exam schedule. To be sure, students did not let all of that free time go to waste. A call went out for a monumental snow-ball fight on the Quad, and so, on Feb. 3, opposing teams of combatants assembled on the Jesse Hall lawn to do battle, with the Columns serving as a stately redoubt for both sides.

In closing, I would also like to call your atten-tion to the “call for participation” on Page 8. The link to a survey that was designed for our alumni who received a BA in history since 1970 can be found there. Please do take a moment to complete the career survey using the live link provided.

Some alumni will receive a hard copy in the mail.

This survey, which was done for the first time in 2009, has proved to be an excellent resource for our students. Once the results are in and tabulat-ed, we will share them with you via our newsletter in the fall.

We also learned, just as this newsletter was going to print, that Professor Robert Weems has accepted the position of Willard W. Garvey Distin-guished Professor of Business History at Wichita State University in Kansas. Our very best wishes go with Robert as he moves on to a new chapter in his academic career.

Undergraduate Recognition

The spring semester brings our annual student recognition event. It is at this time that the department recognizes the

publication of books by of our faculty, fellowships and other awards won by our graduate students, and scholarships and awards earned by our un-dergraduate students.

Because of the generosity of our alumni, the history department is able to offer a number of merit-based scholarships. Brief descriptions of each of the scholarships awarded this year fol-lowed by the scholars’ names follow.

Glen M. McCaslin Memorial Scholarship A memorial scholarship honoring Glenn M. Mc-

Caslin, BA ’49, BJ ‘49. This gift is awarded to outstanding history majors at MU with a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 and history GPA of 3.2 or above. This year’s McCaslin scholars were Ashleigh Bartlett, Partick Logan, Matthew Quetsch, Matthew Schiffman, and Gretchen Stoll.

the entire public affairs office at the Missouri National Guard station, and will this summer travel to Springfield, Ill., to attend a conference for museum professionals collaborating on their Civil War projects.

Greg has also been helping develop plans to move the museum to a larger facility, and in fact, Greg was so excited by the internship and all he learned that he’s volunteered to stay on over the summer to complete the move. Greg describes his supervisors as “welcoming and helpful,” and writes, “I would definitely recom-mend this internship to anyone who has a fas-cination with military history.”

Greg, and 12 other students took part in the internship program this academic year by en-rolling in History 4940, which allows qualified students to choose a program from among 10 different internship opportunities at eight part-

ner sites, which include museums, archives, and libraries in Columbia and Jefferson City. Along with the military museum, students interested in museum work can choose from the Boone County Historical Museum in Columbia or the Missouri State Museum in Jefferson City. Other opportunities include learning research and writing skills at the Supreme Court Library in Jefferson City, where students Rock Gremillion and Bryan Weintrop worked to develop projects that were ultimately presented in a session at the Missouri Conference on History in Kan-sas City in April 2011. In the past, students interested in the electoral process have worked through the Missouri State Archives internship, assisting in the Office of the Sec-retary of State during election cycles.

Other opportunities include learning archival preservation and cataloguing tech-niques at the Missouri State Historical Soci-ety, the Missouri Archives in Jefferson City, or closer to home, the University of Missouri Archives.

Internship students who might wish to pursue careers in secondary education are often attracted to the History Day intern-ships at the State Historical Society, super-vised by Deborah Luchenbill, where Jacob Glazer worked in the spring semester. His-tory Day is a national competition for sixth through twelfth graders who create projects based on a theme chosen by the national office. The state-level competition is held

in April on the MU campus. Jacob’s varied du-ties included creating a Web site for secondary school students showing how the collections at the Missouri State Historical Society could provide required primary sources for topics keyed to the theme, answering questions from parents, finding qualified judges, and putting together informational packets. He describes competition day as “awesome,” and the experi-ence as “more interesting, exciting, and benefi-cial than I thought it ever could be.”

History department internships offer stu-dents the opportunity to develop skills that could lead to careers in government agencies, libraries, museums, and private agencies who value the ability to see the big picture, analyze past performances, and predict future trends – abilities that the history major develops and the internship experience allows students to test. Interested students are always encouraged to contact Jenny Morton, director of undergrad-uate curriculum and advising, who will help the student gain some valuable experience.

Graduate Program News

The department’s graduate program has an outstanding placement record: over the last 15 years, 65 percent of all MU doctorates

have been appointed to tenure track positions, three times the placement rate of peer institutions ac-cording to American Historical Association figures; during 2008–09, all three of the department’s PhDs found tenure-track positions, as have two of our three 2009–10 graduates. Mark Geiger (PhD ’06) was a postdoctoral fellow at the Minnesota Population Cen-ter for three years before receiving a UCLA Center for Economic History postdoctoral fellowship for 2008–09 (they only give one). He is now a postdoc-toral fellow at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, Australia

Each year the department holds a reception at which we recognize our faculty, staff, and graduate students for books published

and awards won. This year our graduate students did themselves and the department proud.

Career SurveySome of you may remember that a few

years ago, we conducted a survey to discover where your degrees in history had taken you. Our return rate for the surveys was about 30 percent which is considered pretty good.

After the surveys were returned, we put to-gether a spiral-bound book titled A Degree in History is Just the Beginning. We also put to-gether a bulletin board display using business cards, graphs and a map of the U.S. to illustrate the many places a history degree can take you. It has been just great to watch our students read through the results of the survey and heartening to hear their exclamations of, “I never thought I could do that with a degree in history!”

Many people, our own students included, are not aware of the many career possibilities that a degree in history presents!

That being said, we’re going to do another survey this summer. Please be on the lookout for it and take a few minutes to complete the survey and return it to us (in the return enve-lope that will be included). Be sure to enclose your business card for our bulletin board.

Another option is for you to complete it online using this handy link https://www.sur-veymonkey.com/s/muhistory.

However you do it, we appreciate your input and look forward to sharing the results, sans names, with you in our fall newsletter and in a publication that will be made avail-able to our undergraduates.

CUP FOR BEST STUNT GIVEN TO READ HALL

“The Great Deception” Is Trophy Winner at Annual W.S.G.A. Party

15 HOUSES IN CONTEST

Zeta Tau Alpha Places Second and Kappa

Kappa Gamma Is Third

Read Hall was presented with a silver loving cup last night for giving the most appropriate, simple, and original stunt at the W.S.G.S. annual Christmas party for all University women, which was held in the Women’s Gymnasium from 7:30 to 10 o’clock. The winning stunt, “The Great Deception,” was managed by Isabelle Levi of Read Hall, and had in its case Mary Algermisen, Kathryn Steinburg, Isabelle Levi, and Freddie Lee Ramsey.

Zeta Tau Alpha placed second in the competi-tion, and Kappa Kappa Gamma placed third. Hon-orable mention was give to Kappa Alpha Theta and Chi Omega. Thirteen sororities, Read Hall, and Hendrix Hall were entered in the competi-tion.

Frances Alexander, president of W.G.S.A. opened the program of the evening by welcoming those who were present and by explaining the basis on which the loving cup was given.

Stunts were limited to five minutes in length and were judged by originality, simplicity, and appropriateness. A sorority or dormitory must win the cup three successive years in order to keep it. Delta Delta Delta, which won the cup per-manently last year, has established the precedent of not entering the competition for one year after permanently winning the cup.

About 250 University women attended the party. Apples and popcorn were distributed after the stunts, and Frances Chinn played for dancing.

Dick Davies, PhD ’63, is a professor at the Univer-sity of Nevada, Reno.

I received my doctorate at MU under the tutelage of Dick Kirkendall and Allen Davis in 1963. In May 2009, I was named the one recipient of the Distin-guished Faculty for the University of Nevada for 2009 — a sort of a lifetime achievement award with only one person named each year. Being selected out of a faculty of nearly 1,000 was gratifying. I keep in touch with Dick Kirkendall and Allen Davis at the an-nual OAH meetings and remain in close contact with Frank Mitchell, PhD ’64, who is now retired from USC and living in his home state of Iowa. He and I took our comps together in 1962 and did a readings book together for recent U.S. history courses with John Wiley & Co. in 1969. After spending 1972–1987 in various high-level administrative positions (college dean at Northern Arizona, provost at Nevada, and interim president of Northern Colorado) I settled into my professorship at Nevada and have continued to teach courses in American history and do engage in my research and writing. By chance I branched out into the emerging field of sports history in the 1990s which has re-sulted in three books with another one in press. I will retire in June 2011 but will continue with my writ-ing. I was most fortunate to select Missouri for my graduate work and the program in American history in the early ’60s was superb. My only regret is not having done any work with Lewis Atherton; I know he would be pleased to know my 1998 book Main Street Blues, The Decline of Small Town America,
